I am from Georgia, and am a real Southern belle, I love to be on the front porch with iced tea, and sit a spell. My hair has to be just so before I go out, And my makeup is one thing I never go without. I say “Ya’ll,” and “I’m fixin” to go… It’s the grammar of a Southern belle you know. I say “Please,” “Thank you Ma’am,” and “Oh shoot,” And if you don’t like me, I don’t give a hoot! 7/1/16 Contest 213 Any Form, Any Topic Max of 10 lines Sponsor: Brian Strand Awarded 10th Place

I apologize for this criticism, but in the 21st century I am compelled to say... "What a hoot!" Do southern belles still walk the pretty plantations with confederate flags on their parasols?

It's a pity that irony hasn't yet reached the South.
